An IFPA-sanctioned Pin-Golf tournament is scheduled for February 23rd, 2024 at the Flipper Room in Concord, CA. The qualifying round will be open from 10AM-1PM and consist of 9 holes. Players will be placed into groups of 3-4.

Players will complete 9 holes for qualifying. Each game, or “hole,” will have either a target score or an objective. Players must try to reach that objective in as few balls as possible. Games will be set to 5 balls and if players do not reach the objective in 5 balls, they will score a 6.

The Cut-off time to begin is 1:00PM. At 2:30, or whenever the last group finishes, the top players will advance. There is no pre-registration date and the tournament is capped to 64 players. Depending on the number of people attending, up to 16 players may qualify for finals, but number of qualifiers may not exceed 50% of the total players.

The finals will consist of more pin-golf, with each round consisting of 3 holes of increased difficulty per round. During the playoffs, there will be four player groups. We will continue to use Pin-Golf scoring in matchplay format. The top 2 of each 4 player group will advance to the next round until there are only 4 players remaining. The final 4 players will play another round of 3 games, which will determine the final ranking of each player.

In the event of a tie that affects whether a player can advance to the next round, or a tie that affects the top 4 finishers in the finals, a game will be selected by the tournament director to be used as a tie breaker. The players will play a normal multiplayer game where the player with the highest score after 3 balls (for a modern game) or 5 balls (for an EM) will win the tie breaker. Game selection will be a combination of games from all eras including electromechanical, solid state, and modern games.
